I just downloaded Sims 4 from disks I bought awhile ago. The game loads fine onto my computer (running Windows 10,) but when I open the game itself up, and it starts running, the top 1/3 of the screen is taken up by what looks like intermittent, diagonally-running static made up of huge pixels. This also happened when I downloaded the game directly from Origins, as well. (I downloaded both ways, hoping one would work.)
Could this be happening because I have a sucky graphics card? Is it a Known Thing that happens that someone might have some way to fix?
Just as a note, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers, so if anybody has any help for me, could you please tell me in terms a moderately intelligent chimp could understand?
Thank you!

@mydeskisamess I've moved your post to the Sims 4 tech section, where you'll get game specific help.

do you have this issue only in the Sims or with other games as well ?
